Ok. you are trying to do too many things at once and therefore have
gotten in trouble.
Your goal should be to first:
1. Make pagination work without any conditions. You have a class
method defined at the model level so that is where the call to
pagination goes as I am showing above. Once you do that, your
pagination functionality is encapsulated in the model class and
therefore you don't need to call it further again in the controller
code as I show above. My suggestion would be to make it work without
the conditions first (or I would take out order clause as well). Once
it starts to work, then;
2. Move on to order and conditions but in small pieces, otherwise you
will never know what is wrong where. I am not entirely sure if your
conditions are defined correctly, may be they are, but I will leave it
to you to debug that.
You need a good separation of concerns: keep the model code where it
belongs and the controller code clean. Whenever I am learning a new
functionality, e.g., will_paginate, I try to build from the simplest
case first and without mixing any other complications, once I begin to
understand fundamentally how it works, adding other functionality,
e.g., conditions, ordering, etc becomes incremental work.
